Implement bracket notation for stacked pins ([1,2,3], [1-4], [1,3,5-7]).
Automatic net naming proceeds based on the smallest logical pin number
in stacked groups.
Provide explode/reform commands in symbol editor for conversion.
Supports arbitrary ranges including BGA alphanum ranges like
[AA1-AA3,CD14-CD22]
Adds some additional QA and trace logging

Support explicit jumper symbols, defined either by a
flag that all pins with the same number are connected,
or by explicit groups of jumpered pins

Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
Schematics, symbols, boards and footprints all get the ability to store
files inside their file structures. File lookups now have a
kicad-embed:// URI to allow various parts of KiCad to refer to files
stored in this manner.
kicad-embed://datasheet.pdf references the file named "datasheet.pdf"
embedded in the document. Embeds are allowed in schematics, boards,
symbols and footprints. Currently supported embeddings are Datasheets,
3D Models and drawingsheets

Apparently GCC does not like competing definitions of the == operator.
The recent refactoring away of all LIB_ITEM objects created a conflict
with the SCH_ITEM == operator definition. This change required some
rather ugly comparison changes. There were no unit test failures but
that doesn't mean something didn't get broken.
This fixes all of the warnings cause by using std::weak_ptr objects when
recursing the symbol inheritance tree to retrieve the root symbol. The
issue is that the weak pointers are not guaranteed to be valid for each
recursion because the lock will go out of scope. Using a std::shared_ptr
object will ensure the lock is valid until it goes out of scope.
- Allow pins to be hidden
- Force backgrounds that overlap items to be in the background
- Include footprint information from Altium libraries
- Handle ellipses more intelligently
- Altium hairline treated as 1mil line (not 100nm)
Also simplifies the scoring algorithm so that it only
differentiates between exact-match, match-at-start and
any-match. The rest of the position-based matching
stuff is gone, as is the knowledge of the name vs the
keywords vs the description. All that is left to the
provider of the weighted search terms array.
Provides a single-point access for modifying the schematic and symbol
elements that allows chaining updates and reverting partial changes.
Standardizes the undo hierarchy between pcb and schematic editors
As this is another layer on the existing undo/redo structure, the
initial commit does not replace all undo/redo calls currently existing.
These will be handled in a series of follow-on commits
